Smith Optics Smith Overtake MIPS Helmet Black, L, MIPS Black, Large

In the realm of cycling helmets, few innovations of the past couple of years have caused as much of a stir as Multi-Directional Impact System (MIPS) and Smith's impact-absorbing Koroyd structure. For 2016, the two technologies return as the protective heart of the Smith Overtake MIPS Helmet, which has been left largely unchanged except for some aesthetic tinkering. In addition to MIPS and Koroyd, the aerodynamic benefits, weight savings, and heat evacuation of the new Overtake Helmet are the exact same as its predecessor. MIPS addresses the specific pressures of an oblique, or non-direct impact, by separating the outer shell from the inner, MIPS layer. In the event of an angled impact, the outer layer slides across the MIPS layer, dissipating rotational force to reduce dome deformation, which is often responsible for long term damage. Since the impact of cycling crashes tends to happen at angles other than 90 degrees, this added element of protection will likely come into play if you take an unfortunate tumble. The rest of the features are the same as those of the non-MIPS Overtake, including the distinctive Koroyd layer. Koroyd is what Smith is calling the funny looking layer of honeycomb tubes that runs beneath the outer shell and more traditional EPS foam. It's made of thousands of tiny, extruded co-polymer tubes that absorb impact but have a fenestrated surface that allows for a level of breathability impossible to achieve with solid EPS foam while absorbing a claimed 30% more energy. Plus, it's pretty cool looking, especially in Smith's mix of contrasting and complementary color schemes. Now for aerodynamics, which has become the buzz word in cycling helmets of late. Smith is aware that the Overtake would have to stack up against the industry's best in this department or it would be received as just another novelty act, so it brought in Len Brownlie, an aerodynamics guru whose CV includes helping time trial medalists dial their position, ...

Smith Optics Forefront 2 Bike Helmet - Matte Gravy Large

Smith Optics Forefront 2 Bike Helmet - Matte Gravy Large

It's here--the next evolution of Smith's award-winning Forefront, the totally redesigned Forefront 2 Helmet is a full-coverage helmet tailored towards all-mountain riders who demand superior protection, ventilation, and eyewear integration out on the trail. For added protection, Smith extended the protective Koroyd material into the back of the helmet to now fully encompass the helmet, while internal air channels combine with open intake and exhaust ports to maximize ventilation. Then, the AirEvac channels further promote cooling airflow to prevent overheating and keep your eyewear from fogging mid-ride, and an AeroCore in-mold construction bolsters impact-protection without adding bulk or blocking airflow. You'll dial in an exact fit with the VaporFit adjustment system, and experience refreshingly cool comfort at the top of the climb thanks to an X-Static reactive cooling lining. The three-position adjustable visor helps you find just the right angle, depending on your eyewear, while integrated camera and light mounts give you options to night ride or film from your POV.

Smith Optics Portal MIPS Adult MTB Cycling Helmet - Matte Klein Blue Large

Smith Optics Portal MIPS Adult MTB Cycling Helmet - Matte Klein Blue Large

You might not be a podium-hungry cyclist, or not crave race day at all for that matter, but that shouldn't hold you back from riding with comfort and protection. Fortunately with the Smith Portal MIPS Helmet you can find the perfect balance between performance, technical features, and comfort for your daily cruises on the trail or pavement. It's packed with a full 18-vents, optimally placed to keep you cool on strenuous climbs, plus AirEvac ventilation system that boosts airflow under your sunglasses to prevent fogging when humidity is high. Designed with the everyday rider in mind, Smith crafts the Portal with an in-mold polycarbonate shell, and ample EPS foam to absorb impacts. Since most crashes on the bike rarely result in a 90-degree head-on impact, Smith equips this model of the Portal with MIPS technology. MIPS works to reduce potential rotational forces by lining the inside of the helmet with a breakaway layer that allows rotations to be absorbed by the outside of the helmet, reducing the forces that your body has to take on.

Smith Optics 2019 Venture MIPS Adult MTB Cycling Helmet - Matte Gravy/Medium

Smith Optics 2019 Venture MIPS Adult MTB Cycling Helmet - Matte Gravy/Medium

Smith broadened its helmet line last season with new offerings appealing to trail riders on a budget and those just starting out. Once again, the crafty designers at Smith have managed to stuff a host of useful protection and comfort-enhancing features into the Venture MIPS Helmet while keeping its cost down, so you don't have to empty all of your funds for future bike upgrades and upcoming trips to iconic trail systems. Emulating the more expensive Rover Helmet, the Venture MIPS Helmet is extremely lightweight and well-ventilated with its In-Mold construction, yet it doesn't sacrifice protection with its rugged polycarbonate shell and upgraded MIPS technology. Because it borrows its design from the more expensive Rover, Smith opted to leave out the honeycomb-like Koroyd inserts, which is a deliberate choice to keep the costs down into more affordable territory. MIPS places a low-friction, elastomeric liner that disperses rotational forces before they're transferred through the helmet, which is a nice benefit to trail riders hurtling down technical, rock-lined trails at high speeds, especially at this price point. Looking onto the rest of the helmet, you'll find 20 optimized vents that rapidly disperse heat, an integrated visor to keep harsh sunlight and overhanging branches at bay, plus Smith's VaporFit system for a fine-tuned fit and feel.

Smith Optics 2019 Forefront 2 MIPS Adult MTB Cycling Helmet - Matte Moss/Vapor/Medium

Smith Optics 2019 Forefront 2 MIPS Adult MTB Cycling Helmet - Matte Moss/Vapor/Medium

Mountain biking protective gear is constantly being re-engineered to be lighter, stronger, and sleeker, seeing demanding trail and all-mountain riders want more comfortable helmets without sacrificing good looks. Following this evolution in design, the Smith Forefront 2 MIPS Helmet builds on the success of the original with increased aerodynamics, heightened protection, and airy-cool ventilation in a sleek, attractive lid for trail and all-mountain disciplines. Smith's proprietary Aerocore In-Mold construction pairs traditional EPS foam with Koroyd tubular structures for better ventilation and a lighter overall weight, but without sacrificing impact dispersion and structural integrity. For the Forefront 2 Helmet, Smith fully encompasses the backside of the helmet with Koroyd structures for an even lighter, more airy feel than before. 20 optimized vents work with Koroyd tubular structures, allowing built-up heat to readily escape in all directions, so you're not susceptible to overheating and excessive sweating. Of course, you're probably not surprised to see MIPS on a helmet of this pedigree, seeing the stand-out success this relatively new technology has witnessed over the past few years. MIPS technology places a low-friction liner inside the helmet, which allows the helmet to rotate independently around your head during a crash occurring at an angle. What this does is help to lessen rotational forces transmitted through the helmet, thereby giving you peace of mind when you're ripping down the trail and plunging into rocky stretches, especially when things go horribly wrong and you find yourself flying over the bars at high speeds.
